Hi
I'm having a problem with my terry filter and spark gap....... they should both fire right? well my terry filter will fire and the spark gap wont, then vice versa. I only leave on for around 20 seconds, should I leave it longer?
the safety gap should NOT be firing. You should test the gap setting by disconnecting the primary capacitor and coil (e.g. just the transformer, filter, and nothing else). You adjust the safety gap until it just "doesn't fire".
That limits the voltage across the transformer to what the transformer normally puts out.
